The other day I got to the gym feeling extremely tired and lazy. I’m eating a ton trying to pack on the size (click here for Fouad's off-season meal plan) and it leaves me feeling tired and lazy more often then I’d like. So it was leg day and I thought, “man this is gonna be a tough one, I gotta dig deep or I’m gonna regret it.” Even though I wanted to dig deep I knew I didn’t have it in me to squat 500lbs that day. So instead of bitching out, I made some changes and went hard as I could. I know everyone’s had nights like this before so I had to share the workout below for the FLX fans. Give it a shot and tell me how your legs feel after (talk about it here)!
Fouad’s Dig Deep Leg Workout
Lying Leg Curl – 6 Sets x 20, 15, 10, 8, 6, 6 (pyramid weight up)
Leg Extension – 8 Sets x 20, 15, 12, 8, 8, 12, 15, 20 (pyramid weight up and then down)
Machine Squat – 5 Sets x 15, 12, 10, 8, 6 (pyramid weight up, feet under you and close stance, toes pointed straight ahead, have to go low!)
Leg Press – 5 Sets x 20 (increase weight until failing at 20)
Walking Lunges – 200 Yards (only stop when you have to, stop as little as possible)
